Data for these statistics is collected via quarterly reports from the individual women's crises centers. By the end of the year, the collected data is processed to a single dataset. The majority of the reported inquiries are anonymous which means the inquiry does not include a valid CPR number. The crisis centers do not approve their data afterwards.
Source data
Each quarter, the individual women's crisis centers report a file with data containing inquiries received by the center. The file contains data with information about each inquiry, including the date and duration of inquiries, who makes the inquiry and the purpose of the inquiry.
Frequency of data collection
Quarterly.
Data collection
Data is reported via a secure upload solution at https://virk.dk/ to Statistics Denmark. Data can either be reported using a system-generated txt file or via a predefined spreadsheet which is send digitally to the women's crises centers by Statistics Denmark. The predefined spreadsheet is updated manually by the women's crisis centers and submitted to Statistics Denmark quarterly. The information page for women's crises centers at Statistics Denmark's webpage holds instructions which describe how to report data on inquiries to women's crises centers. If the data is not received by Statistics Denmark, the women's crisis center is moved, however reporting to the statistics is voluntary.
Data validation
Data validation is carried out for the individual variables if they are filled in with values that do not exist, cf. the requirements specification, in these cases the information is set as unknown. Approximately 95 percent of the inquiries for the year 2022 are anonymous, which complicates data validation, as it makes it difficult to check for duplicates, among other things.
Data compilation
There is no data processing in addition to what is described under Data Validation, as no actual statistics are prepared, since data is only made available to researchers and others.
Adjustment
No correction is made beyond what is already described under Data Validation and Data Compilation.
